the domestic sphere

The domestic sphere refers to the private space of home life, where individuals engage in activities like caregiving, household management, and family relationships. Traditionally associated with duties performed at home, it contrasts with the public sphere, which involves work, politics, and community engagement. While historically viewed as mainly women's domain, modern understanding recognizes that both men and women participate in domestic life. The domestic sphere is fundamental to personal well-being and social stability, shaping our daily experiences and identities within family and household contexts.
